Re-commit of 32e8b550e5439c7e4aafa73894faffd5f25d0d05
This patch rearranges emission of CFI instructions, so the resulting
DWARF and `.eh_frame` information is precise at every instruction.
The current state is that the unwind info is emitted only after the
function prologue. This is fine for synchronous (e.g. C++) exceptions,
but the information is generally incorrect when the program counter is
at an instruction in the prologue or the epilogue, for example:
```
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! // 16-byte Folded Spill
mov x29, sp
.cfi_def_cfa w29, 16
...
```
after the `stp` is executed the (initial) rule for the CFA still says
the CFA is in the `sp`, even though it's already offset by 16 bytes
A correct unwind info could look like:
```
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! // 16-byte Folded Spill
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
mov x29, sp
.cfi_def_cfa w29, 16
...
```
Having this information precise up to an instruction is useful for
sampling profilers that would like to get a stack backtrace. The end
goal (towards this patch is just a step) is to have fully working
`-fasynchronous-unwind-tables`.

Add support for generating TargetFrameIndex in complex patterns for
indexed addressing modes in SVE. Additionally, add missing load/stores
to getMemOpInfo and getLoadStoreImmIdx.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D112617
This patch adds patterns to match the following with INC/DEC:
- @llvm.aarch64.sve.cnt[b|h|w|d] intrinsics + ADD/SUB
- vscale + ADD/SUB
For some implementations of SVE, INC/DEC VL is not as cheap as ADD/SUB and
so this behaviour is guarded by the "use-scalar-inc-vl" feature flag, which for SVE
is off by default. There are no known issues with SVE2, so this feature is
enabled by default when targeting SVE2.

We would like to start pushing -mcpu=generic towards enabling the set of
features that improves performance for some CPUs, without hurting any
others. A blend of the performance options hopefully beneficial to all
CPUs. The largest part of that is enabling in-order scheduling using the
Cortex-A55 schedule model. This is similar to the Arm backend change
from eecb353d0e25ba which made -mcpu=generic perform in-order scheduling
using the cortex-a8 schedule model.
The idea is that in-order cpu's require the most help in instruction
scheduling, whereas out-of-order cpus can for the most part out-of-order
schedule around different codegen. Our benchmarking suggests that
hypothesis holds. When running on an in-order core this improved
performance by 3.8% geomean on a set of DSP workloads, 2% geomean on
some other embedded benchmark and between 1% and 1.8% on a set of
singlecore and multicore workloads, all running on a Cortex-A55 cluster.
On an out-of-order cpu the results are a lot more noisy but show flat
performance or an improvement. On the set of DSP and embedded
benchmarks, run on a Cortex-A78 there was a very noisy 1% speed
improvement. Using the most detailed results I could find, SPEC2006 runs
on a Neoverse N1 show a small increase in instruction count (+0.127%),
but a decrease in cycle counts (-0.155%, on average). The instruction
count is very low noise, the cycle count is more noisy with a 0.15%
decrease not being significant. SPEC2k17 shows a small decrease (-0.2%)
in instruction count leading to a -0.296% decrease in cycle count. These
results are within noise margins but tend to show a small improvement in
general.
When specifying an Apple target, clang will set "-target-cpu apple-a7"
on the command line, so should not be affected by this change when
running from clang. This also doesn't enable more runtime unrolling like
-mcpu=cortex-a55 does, only changing the schedule used.
A lot of existing tests have updated. This is a summary of the important
differences:
- Most changes are the same instructions in a different order.
- Sometimes this leads to very minor inefficiencies, such as requiring
an extra mov to move variables into r0/v0 for the return value of a test
function.
- misched-fusion.ll was no longer fusing the pairs of instructions it
should, as per D110561. I've changed the schedule used in the test
for now.
- neon-mla-mls.ll now uses "mul; sub" as opposed to "neg; mla" due to
the different latencies. This seems fine to me.
- Some SVE tests do not always remove movprfx where they did before due
to different register allocation giving different destructive forms.
- The tests argument-blocks-array-of-struct.ll and arm64-windows-calls.ll
produce two LDR where they previously produced an LDP due to
store-pair-suppress kicking in.
- arm64-ldp.ll and arm64-neon-copy.ll are missing pre/postinc on LPD.
- Some tests such as arm64-neon-mul-div.ll and
ragreedy-local-interval-cost.ll have more, less or just different
spilling.
- In aarch64_generated_funcs.ll.generated.expected one part of the
function is no longer outlined. Interestingly if I switch this to use
any other scheduled even less is outlined.
Some of these are expected to happen, such as differences in outlining
or register spilling. There will be places where these result in worse
codegen, places where they are better, with the SPEC instruction counts
suggesting it is not a decrease overall, on average.

After D98856 these tests will by default break (fatal_error) if any of
the wrong interfaces are used, so there's no longer a need to have a
RUN line that checks for a warning message emitted by the compiler.
I have added a new file:
llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/README
that describes what to do in the event one of the SVE codegen tests
fails the warnings check. In addition, I've added comments to all
the relevant SVE tests pointing users at the README file.

and VectorType::getNumElements(). For these tests I have added
additional checks that there are no warnings in order to prevent
any future regressions.

I have tried to ensure that SelectionDAG and DAGCombiner do
sensible things for scalable vectors, and added support for a
limited number of simple folds. Codegen support for the vector
extract patterns have also been added to the AArch64 backend.
New vector extract tests have been added here:
CodeGen/AArch64/sve-extract-element.ll
and I have also added new folds using inserts and extracts here:
CodeGen/AArch64/sve-insert-element.ll
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D80208
Summary:
This patch tries to ensure that we do something sensible when
generating code for the ISD::INSERT_VECTOR_ELT DAG node when operating
on scalable vectors. Previously we always returned 'undef' when
inserting an element into an out-of-bounds lane index, whereas now
we only do this for fixed length vectors. For scalable vectors it
is assumed that the backend will do the right thing in the same way
that we have to deal with variable lane indices.
In this patch I have permitted a few basic combinations for scalable
vector types where it makes sense, but in general avoided most cases
for now as they currently require the use of BUILD_VECTOR nodes.
This patch includes tests for all scalable vector types when inserting
into lane 0, but I've only included one or two vector types for other
cases such as variable lane inserts.
